No! Do not take any medications!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Please, do not take this medication as you laboratory findings are not suggestive of hypothyroidism and need for treatment. There are other disease conditions like grief, depression, etc that can cause similar symptoms. I will like you to detail your symptoms to me and at the same time tell me whether you have got and stresses going on in your life at this time.

I hope to hear from you. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services.
